Hi, I have posted a couple of times on this forum but mainly used it as the fabulous resource it is. After being diagnosed with MDS Dec/09 I was transfused bi-weekly to Apr/10. At that point I got a positive response from Vidaza in 5 weeks followed by a 4 month transfusion holiday. I was booked in for SCT in Aug, but my counts started slipping as I progressed to AML by late Aug. Now I'm in Princess Margaret in Toronto, just finished my 3-in-7 induction chemo and feel strangely upbeat and energized after that somewhat rough week. So, feeling need of catharsis I started a blog (what do literary-minded cancer patients do?) which seems to be consuming considerable chunks of my day. I hope some of you might enjoy it. The link is

Thanks and best of luck to everyone here,
